In Detail
Electric, old-vine Premier Cru Burgundy overflowing with white peach, hazelnut, and crushed chalk
When Meursault legend Dominique Lafon teams up with Mâconnais master Olivier Merlin, expectations are sky-high—and Château des Quarts delivers the ultimate insider Burgundy. Sourced from 'Clos des Quarts', an ancient monopole planted with vines dating back to 1917, this is top-tier white Burgundy pedigree without the astronomical Côte de Beaune markups.
The 2021 vintage highlights the electrifying energy of this historic Premier Cru plot. Aged meticulously in French oak barrels, it balances opulent orchard fruit and toasted brioche against a razor-sharp spine of limestone minerality. It surges across the palate with white peach, lemon curd, and a long, mouthwatering saline tension that rivals benchmark Meursault.
Premier Cru Pouilly-Fuissé has quickly become Burgundy’s worst-kept secret, and allocations for Lafon and Merlin’s flagship cuvée disappear before most collectors even see an offer. Secure your bottles of this star-studded partnership before our limited stock sells out. Pair with butter-poached lobster, seared scallops, or veal sweetbreads
